314 Genus Cymothoe Huebner AFROTROPICAL BUTTERFLIES. MARK C.

[Invalid; junior homonym of Pallene Megerle, 1823.] = Paradiadema Distant, 1880. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1879: 704 (703- 709). Type-species: Paradiadema hora Distant, by monotypy. The genus Cymothoe belongs to the Family Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815; Subfamily Limenitidinae Behr, 1864; Tribe Cymothoini Dhungel & Wahlberg, 2018. The other genera in the Tribe Cymothoini in the Afrotropical Region are Harma and Kumothales. The Oriental genus Bhagadatta Moore, 1898 is sister to Cymothoe + Harma and the Afrotropical genus Kumothales is sister to the other three genera (Wahlberg et al., 2020). Cymothoe (Gliders) is an Afrotropical genus containing 78 species. The genus is considered to exemplify a rapid evolutionary radiation, with an elevated rate of species diversification during the last 7 million years (van Velzen et al., 2013). The flight is comparatively rapid but often with a floating pattern. Some species are forest canopy dwellers while others frequent the forest floor, often settling in sunny patches. Many species are attracted to fermenting fruit and males are occasionally found mud puddling. The males of some species aggressively defend territories. Females are usually found flying in the semi-shade, low down, often sunning themselves in forest clearings (Kielland, 1990d). The table below, showing the clades into which the genus has been divided, is based on Van Velzen et al., 2016.

The family is monophyletic (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008, Wahlert & Ballard 2010 in press), even though phylogenetic relationships within Violaceae are still unclear (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008). The family embrace a great diversity of vegetative and floral morphologies. Members are herbs, lianas or trees, with flowers ranging from strongly spurred to unspurred.

Ecosphere 4(3):36. http://dx.doi. org/10.1890/ES12-00338.1 Abstract. Temporal variation and phenology of tropical insect communities and the role of environmental factors controlling this variation is poorly understood. A better understanding is needed, for example, to predict the effects of climate change on tropical insect communities and to assess the long- term persistence of tropical communities. We studied seasonal and inter-annual variation in tropical fruit- feeding butterflies by exploiting a unique 137-month abundance time series of .100 species, sampled at 22 locations in the medium altitude montane rain forest of Kibale National Park, western Uganda. Precipitation peaked twice per year, about 20 d after each equinox. Vegetation greenness peaked approximately 33 d later. Species richness and abundance of butterflies peaked about 2 and 3 months, respectively, after the greenness peak.

In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness. INTRODUCTION the importance of inventories to knowledge of the fauna and its conservation, the present study inventoried the species of Faunal inventories are important for providing knowledge butterflies of the Floresta Estadual do Palmito.

G. Talbot. Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries CATALOGUE OF THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA RHOPALOCERA IN THE HILL MUSEUM. By A. G. GABRIEL, F.E.S. INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made.
